We have several large 2-4 gig partitions on a 5 year basis. After a
month or two, changes should be almost non-existent.

 

They also have partitioned indexes. Just makes things easier when we
roll off the oldest partition, etc.

 

Is there a downside to compression?

 

It's sounds like it's supposed to be more stable now, handling tables
and indexes.

 

While I've not found much, it seems like we could expect the 2-4 gig to
maybe be 200-400 meg??? Even if 25-50% would not be bad given some of it
is 5 years history.

 

We are at 9.2.0.6.
